After saying that, she was about to leave. She had been waiting here for half an hour and her patience had long been exhausted.
Before leaving, she deliberately opened all the windows.
"Tsk, not to catch a cold? I want to see what will happen if you catch a cold."
I listened to these words in silence, just like the previous five years, bearing her hatred alone.
But now, I was so tired. I did not want to bear the burden of her grandmother's death anymore, nor did I want to be the punching bag for the entire Steinfeld Family anymore.
Five years ago, the story of Cinderella and the Prince happened to Nicole and me.
When we were deeply in love, Nicole took me to the Steinfeld Family's manor.
Although the Steinfeld Family was a small family, they had been arranged marriages for several generations, except for Nicole.
She refused.
In the entire Steinfeld Family, no one really liked me. They all tried to please me for my money.
Only her grandmother, Harrieth Steinfeld.
Harrieth was over ninety years old and her health was gradually declining.
The failure of her organs forced her, who was once the most influential person in the Steinfeld Family, to step down and sit in a wheelchair.
She was the only person in the Steinfeld Family who truly supported my relationship with Nicole.
She liked me very much and she would often ask Nicole to call me to the Steinfeld Family's manor to accompany her.
She was the one who raised and took care of Nicole since she was a child. She often told me about Nicole's childhood.
But as she spoke, the aura around her became gloomy and sad.
In the broken story, I learned that Harrieth had a young confidant before her marriage arrangement.
However, everything was done out of necessity.
Later on, she could not even speak up.
But even so, she still agreed to my proposal to marry Nicole without bringing any gifts against everyone.
Though I did not bring any gifts, in the Cruise Family, the wife had always been in charge of the money when getting married.
So, after getting engaged, my parents and I handed over the financial power of our family to Nicole.
On the eve of the wedding preparations, Nicole and I took grandmother out for a walk.
While walking down a slope in the park, Harrieth wrote on a piece of paper that she was thirsty. Nicole ran out to buy some water and I stayed behind to look after her.
In this moment, she seemed to see an old friend and felt very excited.
I leaned on the wheelchair and looked around, but I did not see anyone.
"Ethan!"
Nicole's voice sounded behind me and I turned around.
In that moment, the wheelchair slid down the slope ....
My negligence caused a tragedy.
After handling Harrieth's funeral, Nicole still married me, but not because she loved me anymore, but because she hated me.
Out of guilt, I gave everything in the Cruise Family to Nicole, including the position of chief executive of the company.
After Nicole became wealthy, powerful and influential, she hated me even more.
She changed the name of the company from Cruise Group to Steinfeld Group and replaced the position of the Cruise Family in the company with the Steinfeld Family.
"Ethan, just stay trapped in the Steinfelds and struggle to make amends for the rest of your life!"
Not only Nicole, but everyone in the Steinfeld Family had pinned their anger and hatred on me.
During our married life, Nicole met a male model from a bar, Derrick Nolte.
The two were in love and their love was inseparable ....
As for me, I could only watch myself trapped in the quagmire of the Steinfeld Family, blaming myself and struggling with the loss of our two children, Nicole and myself.
And now.
"Mr. Cruise, I'm sorry. As a doctor, I have to tell you something. Your son who has just recovered from a severe cold should not do strenuous exercise. If he does, he will ... I'm sorry, your son died this morning. There is one more thing. You have had seven consecutive shocks in five years, which has caused great damage to your body and heart. From now on ... you may have to take medicine all year round. If you have another shock, you will most likely die. Even if you are saved, you will need a heart bypass surgery."
